after some new bulbs for my headlights and sidelights?
wondering if anyone can recommend some decnt ones, because i have no clue what so ever ha
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers lads

Xenon HID conversion kits are a good choice in the 6000k variety. Theres a good bit of information in the group buy section bout them. Get them from HIDS4U.co.uk with a discount code provided by myself

Alternatively, www.powerbulbs.co.uk sell powerblue and powerplus xenon filled bulbs which are a step up on the standard bulbs and make a nice difference.

As for sidelights, LEDs are the ones to go for. Its a W5W or 501 fitment and www.ultraleds.co.uk have superb ranges of these

Headlight bulbs are a H7 for dipped beam and H1 for high beam

Hope this helps

I've tried out both powerblue and powerplus, and they're good bulbs, very bright and a good beam pattern.

They're not that white/blue though in comparison to HIDs. But if your looking for good bulbs, get powerblue/plus or Osram nightbreakers.

I've also checked out alot of cheap eBay ones. They're cheap painted bulbs so the beam pattern is pretty scattered and they're not that bright. They do give off a very nice colour though, and are great for matching HIDs. So if you prefer looks over performance get them.

Thanks for the speedy replys lads.

so these should fit my 2001 polo?

Also is it much hassel installing them? and how much discount can you offer alex?

Thanks alot.

GF has a 1400 TDI (2001 Year) and we are looking at giving it a tisy up etc, its only done 40k so its like new really, but the bulbs could do with replacing as the light they give off is crap... so intrested in this thread also

cheers
Newbie

Yeh those bulbs will fit.

Alex doesn't give you discount, he contacted HIDs4U and asked if it were possible for an exclusive discount price to uk-polos members and they agreed to it! He has the discount code which you need to use when purchasing from the site

Ah i see
well Alex you have a PM
thanks for all the help guys

hi, just a quick question...

would these bulbs fit a 2001 polo? http://www.hids4u.co.uk/store/product.p ... =13&page=1

along with the H7's?

Thanks,
Jamie.

Yes they will

Get 55W ones for highs...so much more light

Would the HID's pass an MOT?

i've heard that the HID's are required to have self-levelling and a washer system...

no, that only applies to cars that come out of the factory with them.
